## What is Sentinels Sidekick?

“I can’t play Sentinels of the Multiverse without this app.” - Dave Neumann, BoardGameGeek.com
 
Never do battle without your plucky tabletop companion for Sentinels of the Multiverse and Sentinels of Earth-Prime!
 
Put away all of those little fiddly pieces of paper, glass beads, dice, dials, and tokens. For the price of a token pack, Sentinels Sidekick replaces all of that with everything you need to track your progress in a game of Sentinels:
 
• Hit points of all Heroes and Villains
• Hit points of all minions, hero targets and environment cards
• Start or end of turn effects
• Boosts, buffs and other ongoing effects
• Active nemesis modifiers (with optional upgrade pack)
• And more!
 
Sentinels Sidekick can track a game all by itself on a single iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. If your friends also have iOS devices, everyone can track the same game together with the wireless ‘Join Nearby Game’ feature!
 
Gameplay:
• Play with all Heroes, Villains, and Environments from the core games: Definitive Edition, Enhanced Edition, and Sentinels of Earth-Prime.
• Also supports expansions: Rook City, Infernal Relics, Shattered Timelines, Vengeance, Wrath of the Cosmos, Villains of the Multiverse, OblivAeon, mini expansions, and variant cards.
• Sentinels Sidekick features all the beautiful artwork from the card game! All heroes, villains and environments from the core games and first three Enhanced Edition expansions are included. Complete your Sidekick experience with the downloadable Artwork Packs.
• Heroes, Villains, and Environments are also color coded for quick identification.
• See at a glance which Hero targets have the highest or lowest hit points. Tap the HP icon to check other kinds of targets in a flash!
• Flip villains from front to back, automatically adjusting their hit points where applicable.
• Use notes to track effects and actions on any target in the game.
• Custom effects keyboard helps you add effects to any target with just a few taps.
• Zoom heroes, villains, and environments to full screen at any time.
 
Setup:
• Set up a Random game with up to 5 Heroes with one touch! Or randomize individual selections at your leisure.
• Villain difficulty and Hero complexity ratings are built in. Build or randomize the perfect challenge!
• Team up with up to 8 nearby iOS devices to track the same game over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
• Quickly look up rules, errata, discussions, and other game resources.
• Add your own custom heroes, villains, environments and more! Great for playtesters and house rules.
• Choose your favorite Sidekick app icon from the Settings menu - from the Definitive Edition all the way back to the classic original icon!

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2023-12-04, version 3.0*

This app is a perfect example of a developer over-valuing their product and under-delivering. This a PAID app. The fact that there are additional in-app purchases only highlights how greedy the developer is. The app lacks in functionality when compared to FREE third ones and the devs are more concerned with selling digital “art” than improving the UI for customers that already paid. Immensely disappointed in this first party app, but not at all surprised. Consider selling a full functional package. Not this garbage.

Edit: still a garbage money grab after all these years.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-09-23*

I love to use the app during the game, as it helps tracking stats and cards more easily. Quick question: will the expansions for the Definite Edition be implemented?

### 4/5 — Needs landscape mode

*2023-09-02, version 3.0*

As a lot of people have said - and some from 5 years ago! - this needs a landscape mode

### 2/5 — Not as easily shared

*2020-04-23, version 2.6.2*

With social distancing, we would like to play game over zoom.  This would be awesome to connect with our friends who aren’t on our WiFi.  Disappointed that we can’t use this as easily to play.

### 2/5 — Not great for a phone

*2020-03-24, version 2.6.2*

I would not recommend getting this app if you’re thinking of using it on a phone. The content just isn’t readable enough at that scale, especially if you want to have one device for the whole table of players. I have an iPhone 7 Plus, and even with the Plus’s size, the health numbers are hard to read from any distance other than holding-up-to-your-face.

The app seems solid in most other respects, and I’m sure the experience is way better on a tablet.

### 1/5 — Garbage.

*2020-03-23, version 2.6.2*

This app is a perfect example of a developer over-valuing their product and under-delivering. This a PAID app. The fact that there are additional in-app purchases only highlights how greedy the developer is. The app lacks in functionality when compared to FREE third ones and the devs are more concerned with selling digital “art” than improving the UI for customers that already paid. Immensely disappointed in this first party app, but not at all surprised. Consider selling a full functional package. Not this garbage.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2018-12-11, version 2.6.1*

Please fix the app. I recently bought sentinels. I was hesitant to pay 5 dollars for a simple support app for a game but I decided to take the plunge. Mainly, i bought it for the Randomizer aspect. Unfortunately when I go to settings, I’m unable to remove oblivaeon expansion from the list of owned expansions. Because I don’t own this, the Randomizer is useless since it constantly adds content from that expansion

### 5/5 — Le sidekick parfait!

*2018-09-08, version 2.6.1*

Les games sont littéralement 10x moins longues sans avoir à compter le plus haut ou bas Hp (juste pour ça ça vaut les 5*!) Simple, joli, pas trop énergivore, chacun peut avoir accès par son cell.... que du bon!

### 5/5 — Absolutely Amazing

*2018-07-24, version 2.5.3*

Essential use, but when will there be an update for Oblivaeon?

### 4/5 — A must-have for playing the card game

*2017-12-17, version 2.5.3*

We love playing Sentinels of the Multiverse card game, and wouldn’t think of playing without using this app to track hit points. It’s stable, colorful, and useful for that purpose. We’ve added custom heroes, villains, and environments for our Cauldron expansion, which is great. The only gnat in the batter is we really wish it came with a landscape mode. Portrait-only is a real limitation. Please please please add that feature, and then you’ll be a 5-star app!
